Championship MatchDay 4 2021-22 ended with
Fulham moving to the top of the Championship by beating
Hull 2-0 at Craven Cottage, while they were joined on 10 points from four games by West Brom, who won 2-1 at Blackburn.
Aleksandar Mitrovic and Fabio Carvalho, as they had done against Millwall in midweek, scored first half goals as Fulham leapfrogged Albion on goal difference.
Manager Marco Silva was not entirely happy, however.
The Fulham manager said: “It wasn’t the best performance, to be honest. In this competition, with the level that you are, it was not the perfect performance that we had against Millwall.”
Alex Mowatt and Matt Phillips scored at either end of the first half at
Blackburn Rovers to put
West Brom in control.
The Chile striker Ben Brereton Diaz pulled one back for Rovers with his fifth goal in seven games, but the Baggies held on for another victory.
